I am happy to be a partner with ADA Mideast and bring you this dairy-filled recipe that my family loves.

Summer is in full swing! Let’s celebrate with homemade ice cream. Since July is National Ice Cream Month this No Churn Cheesecake Ice Cream is the perfect addition to any gathering. Leave it plain or dress it up with swirls of your favorite berry pie filling. You can’t go wrong here.

My family loves ice cream and I feel a little bit better about letting them indulge when the ingredients are fresh and wholesome. Ice cream is certainly one of our favorite ways to get in our 3 daily dairy servings.

And this recipe couldn’t be easier since you don’t need an ice cream maker. Just whip up the ingredients and let freeze overnight.

Sometimes don’t you just want to eat ALL THE ICE CREAM? I am not normally and ice cream person. When I was pregnant with both of my boys I craved popsicles, slushies, and smoothies. The saddest part of it all was that I had a built-in, living excuse to eat all the ice cream I wanted and there are 2 creameries within a few minutes walk From my house. But I was young and stupid so I passed up the ice cream cones for popsicles and the milkshakes for all fruit smoothies.

I mean- who doesn’t eat ice cream when they are pregnant?

Weirdo.

Well, we’ve fixed that. Only I’m not pregnant, but I still can walk down my street and have my choice of 2 local creameries within 5 minutes of deciding if I want a double or triple scoop.

Also, I’m all about the brownies and milk these days. Do you guys love a big glass of icy cold milk with your brownies? And since these brownies were frozen it just made the cold milk even more refreshing. It was like eating a giant Oreo straight from the freezer.

If you’red looking for more patriotic food try these non alcoholic Layered DrinksLayered Drinks. They are so festive and fun!

Is there something you know how to do, but you are surprised to find out that others have not yet been enlightened? Or maybe a friend does something in front of you that totally blows your mind?

For example, I found out that some people use a fork to skewer an Oreo and dip it in milk. What? I can now dunk and read with ease. Others continually grow green onions on their windowsill. Layered drink how-to is just one of the pieces of useless knowledge that fills my head.

This works well for red, white, and blue, but you can really do this with any color combination.

How to Make Layered Drinks

The secret to layered drinks is in the sugar content. The second secret to success with layered drinks is to use plenty of ice.

After you add your bottom layer, fill the glass to the top with ice, and pour the second layer slowly and directly on top of an ice cube.

Alternatively, you can pour the drinks over an upside-down spoon to slowly distribute the liquid and create even layers.

Serve these with a Red Velvet Brownie Ice Cream Cake slice or this easy Patriotic No Churn Cheesecake Ice Cream.

Some people have had difficulty finding the White Sobe Pina Colada. Here is a version I made using Gatorade.

Or if you have a bit more time, then try these Frozen Triple Berry Smoothies.

Layered Drinks would be an enjoyable and easy addition to any picnic you are attending or hosting for the Fourth of July holiday this weekend.

I had a few friends ask if they could add alcohol, and I don’t see why not as long as you note the sugar content in your layers. Since I have the kidlets running around, we kept these alcohol-free.

Layering works with any drinks. Be sure to keep the drink with the heaviest sugar content on the bottom, then build up.

Items Used

I used Starbucks Iced Coffee bottles in these photos. I also include an Amazon link to some pretty glass milk bottles and similar straws.

Some people have had trouble finding the Sobe Pina Colada. I found it at my local grocery store. You could also try a convenience store or gas station.
